History

Three notable buildings existed on the current site prior to One M&T Plaza. These included:[4]

  • The Richmond Hotel (1887-1888)
  • Iroquois Hotel, also known as the Gerrans building (1889-1940)
  • Bond Clothing Company Building (1940-1964)
gollark: Scuba diving seems neat. I'm doing a "discover scuba diving" thing next month (not sure exactly when, since I had my parents book it and forgot to ask...).
gollark: It looks low enough that mobile networks should still work, although in my experience you're meant to turn off phones for whatever reason.
gollark: It's some bizarre Discord feature where people with nitro can provide "boosts" to a server, and if you get enough of them you can get extra things, but also the people can just randomly revoke them or boost something else and then you lose those things.
gollark: Apparently, yes.
gollark: The banner thing's gone too.
